Yeah.
It is when you pull up to a stop sign and the car does not come to a complete stop.
It slows down kind of to a crawl and the person like looks both ways and then they just go.
I wonder if it would in San Francisco because I feel like it is very widely accepted as a thing you do.
He was like, yeah, we have been trying to make the cars more confidently assertive, as he put it, for a while now.
It's a strategy.
They do regular software updates.
So this is something that's been happening over time.
I mean, he described it as, you know, just kind of necessary in order to scale them up in San Francisco.
It's a busy city.
You've got tons of cars on the road.
When the Waymos are too passive, it becomes disruptive to the rest of traffic.
So, you know, there's reasons to make them more confident.
The funny thing is he said that he and his partner had just been talking about hearing about how Waymos were getting more assertive.
And then he said they saw Paul the Yui and then they looked up and they saw the no U-turn sign.
So they put their lights on and pulled over the Waymo and the windows rolled down.
And yes, there was no human in the front, but an operator did come on the speaker and profusely apologize.
And they can't write them tickets yet.
That is coming soon.
So yeah, no tickets issued.
